Al Jaffee - Original Back Cover Art for Mad #169 (EC, 1974)
Al Jaffee - Original Back Cover Art for Mad #169 (EC, 1974). This image comes from the inventive mind of Al Jaffee, who created the idea for the Mad Fold-In. This piece was a timely reflection of the gas shortages of the 1970s as the folded cover showed a gas pump with a "No Gas" sign on it. As an unfolded image, this is a very colorful piece with Jaffee's trademark round figures going about their industrial business. The art was rendered on a thick piece of illustration board that is in great condition with minor corner wear. It measures 19" x 24.5". The main image area was taped off to a 16.75" x 16.25" size. The folded diagram at the top right is an original art stat and the text boxes at the top are pasted up stats. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
